DANVERS - A Rowley man who says he burned the soles of his feet while walking on a metal ramp at a Danvers marina has filed a lawsuit, saying the facility's owners should have warned him the ramp was hot.

Norman Pelletier says in his suit that he suffered second-degree burns on his soles after walking on the ramp at the Danversport Yacht Club in June.

The Salem News (http://bit.ly/YCGvLM ) reports that the lawsuit, filed last week in Salem Superior Court, seeks at least $15,000 in damages.

Pelletier's lawyer alleges the yacht club's management was negligent because it didn't warn visitors the ramp might be hot, and failed to provide a "reasonably safe" environment.
